LOS ANGELES—“Let me see your soul. Also, your sole.”
Aderes Quin wants you to know one thing.
“The main thing is I have a foot fetish,” she says with a smile and lifts her feet off the floor, level with the tall desk I am sitting behind. Yes, she has lovely feet.
Aderes is a born-and-raised California girl from Valencia who started her adult career during COVID, exclusively selling feet pics on OnlyFans. She has only completed two dozen on-camera sex scenes over the past two years.
“I’ve built a really, really good business around my feet and around fetish work,” Quin says and pushes back her long, pale-blonde hair.
Then, two years ago, the Universe had other ideas.
“I had kind of the worst-case scenario happen. I had a brain tumor.”
She battled debilitating migraines without any relief and assumed she had contracted long Covid. Even after maximum doses of over-the-counter pain medication, she found no relief. “I still was in pain, I still couldn’t get up, I still couldn’t do what I needed to do. So, whether I get Botox for it or something, I gotta figure this out. It took a long time to get the MRI,” she says, seriousness slipping into her voice.
At the hospital, she began having stroke symptoms.
She says, “I could not speak. They did all the tests, and the next thing you know, you’re not having a stroke. But you do have a tumor.”
Thankfully, it was non-cancerous, and with one operation, it was successfully removed. After announcing it on her social media and to her fans, the loyal core stuck by her through the entire process.
“Your fans give you a lot more time and grace than any 9-to-5,” she says. “I have no problem talking about the tumor. I want to talk about it because I want people to know that if you choose to do this kind of work, it is safe for you.”
Aderes nods, solemnly, her brown eyes warm and appreciative of those fans who stayed.
With the scare in her past, she says, “Sexual and mental health are really important to me. Because I’ve had this whole history with my health, it’s such a passion for me.”
She is looking forward to hopefully educating other performers. “Not just other performers, the world.”
Aderes would like to change the world.
